Turan is really coming good dis season, quite interesting if u ask me. He should get more games with messi still out, and even when messi returns, turan should still get games against small teams and in d copa

We should get 3 points against celta, even tho dey re still a good side

10d0ve:
personally I don't expect a great performance, it's one of the grounds we've struggled at for the past 2 seasons. We might still win tho...but it ll be a scrappy display! We ll be needing all the luck that can possibly come our way

10d0ve:
Being new here doesn't mean I don't remember Lucho's fall out with leo which reshaped his career for ever...He wanted power tussle at anoeta, n he was shown who the boss is (Leo)

dmcdad:
I guess you didn't get the point. The point ain't about you not knowing what happened then. It's about what conspired on here. And with that in mind, you weren't a member of this thread at the time, and as such you didn't know how much criticisms and/or bitterness that ensued on here towards Lucho, hence his statement.

dmcdad:
Through the overrated Xavi and unproductive Iniesta.

airmark:
Give me their monikers? I know stuff** would be among them.

TRendlona:
Yh bro

Mascherano now has critics. They said his recent form hasn't really been encouraging... Altho I was part of dem sha..

10d0ve:
When it comes to criticising Lucho it turns to the ends justifies the means... but same barca fans will criticise teams for parking the bus n winning ugly ala chelsea 2012, n calling it a one off! But when it comes to individual scrutiny of the players every body ll highlight their highs n low...Is Lucho invincible?

TRendlona:
And where are the Mascherano haters?

bykebyke:
For a debutant team in the UCL,they have made a better start to life than the likes of Man United or Chelsea.

Nah,I didn't start watching football in 2015,I started watching few minutes ago.

Puta.

jstbeinhonest:
Leicester are a good team, they would not make top 4 due to their inconsistiencies, but i belive they would make a strong case for Top 8. If they get lucky with the draws they might make the UCL's last 8.

Alves doing me proud. More and more kudos to Roberto, replacing the best rb in the past decade ,almost seamlessly is no mere feat.

airmark:
I dont know anything called kryowiach at psg

airmark:
You must have got that info from the same source that convinced you that busquets was the best dm ever. No surprises.

airmark:


Best club in the world, how ?

diggz:
Like seriously? Which kind yeye talk be dis wan again?

bville:
Hey my people what's up, you'll got a new cule in the house,a veteran cule in actual words, I read all you nigga's post and every comment for some time now but I can proudly say I'm part of the house finally...I think my favorite cule has to be dmcdad,I relate to your comments in earnest,I believe you to be a veteran just like my brother 10dove....I also acknowledge sebod and bykebyke, I'm very happy when I see committed cules with the blaugrana DNA..... 1 love everybody and a toast to our soon to be victory against ATM tonight
Over and out

dmcdad:
Like bykebyke said, Mascherano has become too error prone in recent times. Same thing happened first half of last season, Mascherano was completely awful, but he picked up in the second half and was the star defender of the latter part of last season.

The thing is; we just have to move on with life. I was clamouring about using a new RB prior to Alves' departure. Not like Alves wasn't great, but because I believe in the fact that there comes a time when we all have to move on. Since Roberto started playing at RB, have you noticed Rakitic is now allowed to play his normal game, rather than act as a cover for Alves?

Mascherano is more experienced quite alright. But Umtiti, with his great potential, complements Piqué perfectly. He does what Mascherano would usually do by breaking play before they even become threats. And aerial ability? That's perfectly covered. Imagine Piqué and Umtiti's aerial abilities... Both are stupendously great when dealing with aerial balls, an area Atletico are very much good at.

Meanwhile, your analogy of marrying a new wife and dumping the old one doesn't hold up here walai. Mascherano for the past 2 seasons or thereabouts has been dropping in terms of his performances. He is far more prone to making mistakes now more than he ever was. Of course you would wanna argue that if that were the case, then he would have been benched more often. But remember, he never had a real competition prior to this season, hence the continued use of him as Piqué's partner.

This is just a natural phenomenon. Let's move on with it. Even he (Mascherano) knows his place is no longer certain.

10d0ve:
Rafinha right back? With his left foot? I don't support

pelvicky:
masch now.


Something just enter my head, instead of rafinha fighting for a position in midfield/attack, can't we convert him to a RB?.


Guys ,what do u think?

bykebyke:
Who would you guys like Pique to partner with against Atletico?

Umtiti or Mascherano?

dmcdad:
You mean the then special one?

Remember, I get am before... No be wetin?

bykebyke:
Just seen the video of what was done to Bailly.


I don laugh tire.

eph12:
Yeah I agree but won't change anything. If our attack continues to be flat and predictable it won't matter if Blind is on the field or not.





Watching RM now, seeing those sleek passes and players moving into space and channels and am wondering why we can't play that way

dmcdad:
Make I see the day somebody go come here come talk about Baily being better than Umtiti. Wetin I go use that person eyes see ehn...

Chelseafan1:
3 straight losses, someone remind me please, how much did Mourinho spend on this team?
Pataki, Kokaneprodigy, Dmcdad, Bigkesh, Lana1, Sebod, Bykebyke

dmcdad:
Sebod, I guess we just started supporting Barça recently. No wahala sha.

10d0ve:
Didn't insinuate that either...

10d0ve:
It may sound unconstructive to you...but I've been following barca for years.. I'm not a new buy!

10d0ve:
okay....I hope you don't come criticising the players when we loose...

10d0ve:
Resting Roberto n Busi this early in the season is definitely thinking about Atm...we r wining now, so it's very easy not to see that the team isn't balanced...
